Midazolam – uma nova alternativa para sedação em odontopediatria
Abstract
Na prática clínica, existem muitas crianças imaturas e ansiosas ou pacientes com comprometimento físico e/ou mental que não cooperam durante o tratamento odontológico. A sedação pré-operatória é uma das alternativas que facilitam o manejo desses pacientes. O midazolam é um benzodiazepínico que pode ser indicado para crianças, como pré-medicação em procedimentos de curta duração. Isso porque apresenta propriedades hipnóticas e sedativas, além de ser absorvido e eliminado rapidamente pelo organismo. Dessa forma, o objetivo deste estudo é avaliar, por meio de uma revisão de literatura, a efetividade do midazolam, administrado por via oral e intranasal, como agente sedativo para crianças não cooperadoras submetidas a tratamento odontológico.
UNITERMOS: midazolam; sedação; odontopediatria.
